I don't see the function being used in gdb by this patch set.
So, absent further info, the change to gdb/target.c is just adding
dead code.  I'm assuming that's not the case (*1), but until I
understand how it's going to be used in gdb it's not clear to
me whether code that uses it will be confusing to read.

(*1): I could have missed its use.
But even if it's dead code today, I don't mind it
in this particular case.

In which case I'm happy.
Code that uses that name can be read unambiguously
(to me anyway).
